Salford-headquartered communications giant TalkTalk has agreed to acquire SSE Phone & Broadband from OVO Energy.
The deal is expected to be completed in the autumn and will see the company take on an unspecified number of new customers. It has also not been revealed how much the deal is worth.
The move comes after reports emerged last month that a move to takeover TalkTalk, the internet giant that went back into private hands in a £1.1bn deal last year, is being eyed up by Virgin Media O2. The potential deal could value the company at in the region of £3bn.
